Andy rounds up a busy weekend for the Society. Photos by Andy unless stated otherwise, header photo by Stephen.
Last weekend saw both a Society meeting and our annual trip to the Cavalier Wargames show run by Tunbridge Wells Wargames Society.
Only three games at the meeting on Saturday, perhaps due to some members only being able to get out on one of the days.
First up, David ran a Napoleonic Corps game using General d’Armee rules and figures from his collection. This was a popular game with half a dozen members partaking.
Eric ran a Judge Dredd RPG, only a couple of photos of this one I’m afraid.
Finally on Saturday Andy and Stephen finished off their Lion Rampant Five Battles campaign, joined this time by Treasurer Mark and new member Charlotte.
Game one.
This was a Convoy mission, the Christians had to escort three “baggage” markers diagonally across the table, a cart, some monks and some civilians. The Muslim forces had to stop them.
Game 2. This was to be our “Big Battle”, with two commands on each side. Here the objective was simply to defeat the opposition.
We will post a write up of the final games in the campaign in the near future.
CAVALIER
On Sunday half a dozen or so members travelled to Tonbridge for Cavalier.
The Society’s game for this year was masterminded and built by Phil, and was a 3D representation of a map game published in the 1977 Warlord Comic Summer Special portraying a Luftwaffe raid on Southern England during the Battle of Britain.
A good turn out for the Society’s first meeting of 2024, which included the Annual General Meeting, as well as half a dozen games.
The games staged were representative of the many periods and genes covered at the Society, consisting of historical, fictional, fantasy and sci-fi games.
Tony and Phil made a start with their “Quest of the Ringbearer” Middle-Earth campaign, playing out 4 scenarios of the journey from the Shire to Mount Doom.
Scenario 1 Farmer Maggot’s Crop
Scenario 2 – Short cuts make long delays
Scenario 3 – Buckleberry Ferry
A more detailed report on these scenarios will appear in due course.
Stephen staged a 15mm American Civil War game using Brigade Fire & Fury, ‘The Battle of Mansfield April 1864’
Alan put on a Pulp Alley game “The Castle of Terror”, teams from the Intelligence Agencies of various countries have been dispatched to investigate secret German activity at Schloß Weidergänger.
Jeremey and Eric tried out –“Grimdark Future” from One Hour Wargames using their Space Marines and Robot collections.
John staged a FoG Renaissance 15mm ECW game pitching Royalists vs Covenanters
And finally, David put on a 28mm Napoleonic Corps game, Russians vs Prussians using General d’Armee rules
Well, that’s it for the round up of our first meeting.
The Society meets on the 2nd & 4th Saturdays of the month at Linton Village Hall. You can find our diary of games here.
For new members/visitors, we will always endeavour to find you a spot in a game if we can.
